The City of Anaheim Public Utilities Department (APU) issues this Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit competitive proposals from qualified respondents to provide comprehensive rubber testing services for electrical safety equipment and to supply replacement equipment and related goods as needed. The scope covers testing, inspection, and certification of all rubber insulating products used by APU's electrical workforce, including but not limited to gloves, sleeves, blankets, line hose, and other protective gear. Testing must comply with current ASTM standards (e.g., ASTM D120 for rubber insulating gloves) and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.137 requirements, ensuring equipment meets dielectric and physical integrity specifications.
Key deliverables include periodic testing (typically at 6-month intervals for gloves and annually for other items), retesting of reissued equipment, provision of certified replacement equipment if items fail testing, and detailed recordkeeping of all test results for regulatory compliance. The selected respondent(s) will enter into a Professional Services Agreement (Pro Forma Agreement included in the RFP) with the City, with contract terms to be negotiated.

The RFP was published on September 23, 2026. Proposals must be submitted via the City's OpenGov procurement portal (link provided in the RFP). A pre-proposal conference is not scheduled. All inquiries should be directed to the procurement contacts: Lem Reyes (Operations Contract Specialist) and Josh Lu (Consultant).
The evaluation and selection process will be based on criteria detailed in the RFP's Evaluation & Selection Process section, which may include demonstrated experience, technical approach, pricing, and qualifications. The City reserves the right to make multiple awards and to negotiate a best-and-final offer. Respondents must meet the minimum qualifications outlined in the RFP.
